Thomas and I are having a two-night concert-going-palooza. Tonight we are going to see Nickel Creek, which is good since they are taking an indefinite break following this tour and they were such a hoot last time.

Tomorrow, we are driving to Tucson to see Andrew Bird, who is purely sublime. Seriously, if he's ever in your town, go see him. It's amazing to watch him perform.

I'm going to try to talk Thomas into stopping at the ostrich farm on the way. I told him it was mainly so I could post more mocking photos of him on The Internetz®, as if I don't give him enough crap as it is.

I give Thomas a lot of shit and good-natured ribbing. It's purely out of love. He is one of my best friends. Out of respect for him, I decided NOT to post his birthday ecard for all The Internetz® to view on his birthday.

See Thomas, I can show restraint some times.

Of course...

Today's not his birthday, so the man who saw the first Lord of the Rings movie a total of TWENTY-ONE times IN the movie theater back to being fair game. (The ecard is after the jump.)
